Food for Kids honoring Melissa & Mark Hortman

Food for Kids Fundraiser
Honoring Melissa & Mark Hortman
with Every Meal

At a time when Minnesotans are feeling such an immense loss after the killing of Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark - we look for a place to put our grief. Their children suggest we do something good in the community to honor them.

Rep. Melissa Hortman helped pass the Free School Lunch initiative for public schools in Minnesota. In the spirit of making sure no children go hungry in our communities, myTalk is partnering with Every Meal - an organization that fights child hunger by focusing on filling the food gaps children face, especially on the weekends, when they’re not able to eat school meals.

In the words of Melissa and Mark's children:

“Hope and resilience are the enemy of fear. Our parents lived their lives with immense dedication to their fellow humans. This tragedy must become a moment for us to come together. Hold your loved ones a little closer. Love your neighbors. Treat each other with kindness and respect. The best way to honor our parents' memory is to do something, whether big or small, to make our community just a little better for someone else.”

Help us bring a light into these dark times and do some good with us!
